The man who called 911 to report the collision told CTV News the woman driving the SUV struck the KFC, backed up, and hit the restaurant again.
An older woman was seriously injured.
“Went in there and saw the lady bleeding and her leg was pretty well injured,” Michael Ngongos said. “It was horrible.”
Ngongos said the driver, a younger woman, was arrested.
UPDATE: EPS later said the female driver of the SUV is 60-years-old, and was taken into custody. Charges are pending.
